    The impossible question. Without testing that combination, it's impossible to really know, however in a recent test I discovered that the PS4S was a better tyre than a * marked PSS

    Very interesting, I am looking at Ultrac Vorti R, since Michelins are 2x the money (Canada).

    Did except better result for the Goodyear in the dry. And the old Hankook did better than expected, the Evo 3 seems to be not so good als the Evo 2

      I understand why you think that regarding the Hankook, and I'm not sure what happened in the other test where the Evo3 performed poorly, but I'm confident the Eco3 will be a better tyre than the Evo2 when compared directly.

        I should mention in Autobild-Magazines Hankook mostly have better results than in other magazines here
